Finding out too late that a loved one had a serious condition that could have been treated is devastating news. Deep Vein Thrombosis, is one of those conditions.
Unless you have a history of Deep Vein Thrombosis, either for yourself or a loved one, you probably never even heard of the condition, let alone considered preventative measures.
Because many of the symptoms parallel other diseases DVT can be difficult to recognize and diagnose. There's also no disguising the pain associated with it.
Maybe you or your loved one has experienced an illness that required complete bed rest. Thinking you are doing just what the doctor ordered, imagine how horrifying it can be to suddenly discover that was the one thing that led to a blood clot rampaging through your body.
